SENIORS

Senior Rhinos took on the Daisy Hill Wildcats looking to get back into the winners circle after 2 losses.

The Wildcats were first on the scoreboard to take a early 7-0 lead. The Rhinos were then able to put in a long drive lead by the running of Luke Jackson allowing Paul Mason to barge over for the TD, the Rhinos took the lead with a 2 point conversion. Going into the second qurater with a small lead Rhinos QB Ryen Gillen was able to drive down the field and throw his first TD in Seniors hooking up with Matt Neil in the end zone to increase the lead to 14-7.

The second half was a end to end game with neither team able to get a score, while the Rhinos defence came up with some great plays in the red zone. In final quarter the Wildcats were able to put a good drive together lead by their passing game and get the ball into the end zone and tie the game at 14. Both teams threw everything they had to take the lead with the Wildcats having a late shot at field goal blocked and a pass into the end zone intercepted to leave the score at full time 14 each.

JUNIORS

The Juniors took on the Kenmore Bears looking to bounce back after last weeks close loss. Lead by Jake Hangers 2 td's and Scott Lehmanns' 3 interceptions the Juniors lead all the way to run out 34-14 winners. The Bears who havn't won a game yet battled well with the Rhinos taking the chance to give some players game time.

SENIORS

The senior Rhinos team travelled to Birkdale last Saturday to take on the home team Eastside Ravens.

The Eastside Ravens defeated the Rhinos 26-16 in a highly entertaining game with the result in the balance well into the fourth quarter. The Ravens with probably their best team in years remain undefeated whilst the Rhinos must regroup to get ready for their home opener against the Gold Coast Stingrays.

JUNIORS

 The Junior Rhinos went to Runaway Bay to take on the Sunshine Coast Spartans. 

The game got off on the right foot for the Juniors with Scott Lehmann returning the opening kick off for a TD with Cameron McDougall adding the 2 points. The Spartans with a fast improving offence where able to drive in for a TD of their own to make it 8-6. Scott Lehmann again scored this time on a WR reverse for a 14-6 lead but the Spartans through a great kick return of their own where able to get great field position and run in a TD to trim the lead to 2 at the break.

The Rhinos offence took the field in the second half lead by stand in QB Devon Kitts who marched the team down field with Kitts running in the TD for a 20-12 lead. The Spartans weren't finished and had a long drive of their own to again get a TD and close the gap to 20-18 with Callum Nally making a great tackle to stop the 2 pt conversion. Scott Lehmann again showed his great sped returning the insuing kick off for another TD to give the Rhinos a 26-18 lead, the Spartans didn't have enough time to mount a comeback with the clock running out giving the Rhinos the win.

The Rhinos Seniors got their season underway Saturday 29th with a 58-0 win over the Toowoomba Wolves. The score is the biggest ever acheived by a Rhinos team and the margin is also a record.  

JUNIORS

The Juniors got their first win of the season with a 32-26 win over the Bayside Ravens, it was an exciting game that wasn't over until the final play with the Ravens having a chance to snatch victory on the last play. Scott Lehmann and Devon Kitts lead the way with 2 TD's each and Aaron Previte had another outstanding game at Qb and Safety. 

JUNIORS 

The Junior Rhinos completed a HUGE 42 to 12 victory over the Wildcats on Friday. The Rhinos lead by QB Aron Previte and WR Scott Lehmann took a 22-12 lead into the break with the Wildcats getting on the board through their dangerous kick returner running 2 kick offs back for scores. The second half was lead by the Defense with LB Callum Nally and DL Cage leading the way. The Rhinos added 3 more scores and managed to avoid the Wildcats return man anymore chances to run out 42-12 victors.

SENIORS

The senior Rhinos had a 22-0 victory over the Browns Plains Bruins on Saturday. As expected the Bruins brought a tough game to the Seniors keeping their scoring chances to a minimum. Defence again showed their skill with placing pressure on the Bruin's QB forcing him to make snap decisions and causing a safety. Offensive line greatly improved with their pass protection giving Rhino's QB Stacey Porter time to complete 2 TD'S passes to WR Matt Neil. O'line also stepping up and opening holes for RB Paul (buttercup) Mason to score his TD for the game. Plenty more evidence that the Senior Rhinos are serious contenders for this years SunBowl Championship.
